Under the Sky....

I love the wide perspective, the feeling of vastness and space - if I had to chose I would vote for the color version.

Cheers

Hi Pnina, where my brother lives you can see for miles around at the surrounding skies, and when I look at this picture I think of sky as in Big Sky Country (that's what I call it where he lives) I like it Pnina, I like it very much. Well Done!

Well he is about 4 hours drive from here not to far from Ottawa Ontario Canada I was just there the weekend before last.

a nice study of clouds. sepia version is too harsh with details of the clouds texture somehow lost.

"Big Sky Country" is the official nickname of the US State of Montana, and has been likely since before David was born. The name is derived from a book title about early fur trade there.

David and Chris, thanks for the information.

 

Naftali, thanks as well I understand that the colored version works better. Pnina

The two images convey a very different mood. In the colour, the gren, lively, colour and the stripe of red give the continuation of life and therefore a very transient thunderstorm, which will give way to the sun again. The sepia is gloomy altogether. Strangely enough, in the sepia there is too much sky while the colour version is very balanced. I think this is due to the fact that you need -in my eyes- little bright colours to balance large masses of dark/cold ones. This aspect of the composition is therefore well seen.

Salvator, thanks for analyzing both versions. It helped me to see where the problem in the sepia is.A priory I liked the colored version, but wanted to see the effect on a sepia version.In the original the sky on the right hs, was a little blocked and I have brighten it i bit. on the sepia I thought it looks more dramatic and did not brighten the clouds..I see that it is blocked and I should have brighten it as well.

 

I appreciate your help. Pnina

just looked at your work Pnina.

Great photos (I will be back tommorow and gert a good look (loved what i have saw up to now

Thanks, you are welcome!I can say the same of your work that I have recently discovered! Pnina

What a dramatic sky, Pnina! I like this very much, especially with those nice colors and forms at the bottom.

I've always wanted to take a shot like this. The enormity of the sky is so well conveyed. Including that tiny part of the land with the green along with blue sky works very well IMO. While the sepia conveys the dramatic mood of the sky, I liked the color ver. more since I could feel the dramatic clouds in the context of green earth and blue sky. Although I remember seeing your name in several places before, I am so glad I took a quick visit today. Need to have lot of time to come back. Just the kind of images I want to take but still haven't...

Nicely composed and fantastic atmosphere.

Beautiful strong image Pnina,great work.

 

Best regards Shuki

This is a lovely yet powerful image. Wow, thanks for posting this.

Excellent landscape with brilliant light, love it ! Cristi

beautyful

Thank you Mac, I appreciate your visit and comments.

 

A late thanks for Cristi.

Very good composition and mood!

Thanks Antanas for qall your nice comments!

This is well done. The dark, somber sky dominates the image, as it should, given that it is the most interesting part of the landscape.

Fantastic, I like the colors and composition a lot.
